Architectures of Hope: Infrastructural Citizenship and Class Mobility in Brazil'

Description: Architectures of Hope by Moisés Kopper Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description On the eve of the 2008 financial crisis, Brazil implemented its largest-ever public housing program, the Minha Casa Minha Vida Publisher Description Architectures of Hope examines how communal idealism, electoral politics, and low-income consumer markets made first-time homeownership a reality for millions of low-income Brazilians over the last ten years.Drawing on a five-year-long ethnography among city planners, architects, street-level bureaucrats, politicians, market and bank representatives, community leaders, and past, present, and future beneficiaries, Moisés Kopper tells the story of how a group of grassroots housing activists rose from oblivion to build a model community. He explores the strategies set forth by housing activists as they waited and hoped for—and eventually secured—homeownership through Minha Casa Minha Vidas public-private infrastructure. By showing how these efforts coalesced in Porto Alegre—Brazils once progressive hotspot—he interrogates the value systems and novel arrangements of power and market that underlie the countrys post-neoliberal project of modern and inclusive development.By chronicling the making and remaking of material hope in the aftermath of Minha Casa Minha Vida, Architectures of Hope reopens the future as a powerful venue for ethnographic inquiry and urban development.
